Apprentices work throughout the year gaining skills on-farm with a farm mentor and take five weeks of in-class training delivered by Extended Learning, Dalhousie Faculty of Agriculture, on PEI. Forty Apprentices have received their Blue Seals from Apprenticeship PEI
Program tuition is subsidized 100 percent if EI eligible, by Skills PEI through the Canada/PEI Labour Market Agreements.
